J_Orange - Why should it be considered a daft thing? I have tattoos, and I can assure you, it is because I chose to have them. You're generalising just a little bit. I'm not the slightest bit interested in following celebrity fads, and if you think I'm a fashion victim, you should see my wardrobe!

dogsnobrob - That'd be entirely correct if people never learned anything. I'm sure everyone in their fifties remembers daft things they did in their teens and twenties. I'm 100% behind you in Mr Hunt in the personal liberty stakes, sure, it's hurting no one and if folks want they, then why not?
Though I wonder how many people really do want a tattoo. it's not as if for decades there was an unmet demand for tattoos, as if millions of people wanted one but couldn't get one. It's a fashion trend. They want one because a few celebs have them and so do their mates. Still, if folks must be fashion victims, let them, I suppose.

Thanks for the judgemental comments. Hopefully you feel a little better now. Here's a thought... Surely people who are aware of the permanent nature of a tattoo are free to do whatever they want when it come to decorating their bodies? It doesn't do you any harm.

Years ago, if you had a tattoo you'd be either a thug, a nutter, a jailbird or all three. Some things never change. Except now that group is joined by single mothers, who often sport the hybrid, a tittoo. A tattoo located, well, you get the odd glimpse. The tattoo craze is one thing we'll look back on and mock for the ridiculous self harm it is.
